Stainless steel Vs. Ceramic header?

Post by Bryce »

I'll be ordering the dc sports JDM header for my r soon. I've always heard ceramic cooled better than stainless, but is the difference that significant? And does anyone know about how much it runs to get it shipped, just regular ups ground?

Ceramic gets hotter, is heavier and in some cases, rusts from the inside out. I would never buy a ceramic header.

But of course, there are people who will disagree....it's all in what you want.
